It’s bad but if it happens we only have ourselves to blame. Who ever ‘we’ are.

The Conservative core support comes from working class voters particularly in the last 20 years.

Brexit was exactly that. A petulant door-slamming. A rejection of cooperation, protection and opportunity for all of us because the wealthy rightwing elites didn’t want to play by shared rules. And knew they could exploit ignorance/prejudice to achieve that.

At 18 months old it’s really still a baby that has just learned to walk. It’s taking steps.

I think that could well be the case. Difficult to predict the precise timing though. There was no real reason why Nvidia earnings report was going to disappoint.

I think most would agree that the 08 crash and ensuing govt failure to invest on like 0.1% interest rates was very damaging. But that doesn't have the effect of cancelling out the negative impacts of Brexit. Damaged recovery, SME failures, unemployment, degradation of services etc don't show up here

Labour have evidently descended to dog whistle lying. It’s deeply disappointing. Really poor. No better than Reform. Unsupportable.

So you pay the marginal rate of income tax on pension contributions if you are a higher rate taxpayer.

Yes. So you limit tax relief on pension contributions at what point? At present a tax payer can contribute up to £60k per annum tax free but obviously they then pay income tax when they draw their pension.

Surely we should be incentivising people of working age to invest in pensions. If there is no tax relief on pension contributions there is no point in putting money into a pension.

Yes, but at the moment they get that relief on the pension going in. But on the way out they would get the annual tax free allowance and lower rate band so wouldn’t pay 40% on all (for some it would be any). If you take the 40% relief away then tax wise it’s better to put in stocks outside a pension
